WE WILL NOT REMEMBER HIM TOMORROW FOR SURE, AT LEAST LET US PRAY FOR HIM AND HIS FAMILY TODAY.

We salute you and your parents Dear Major Sandeep. These last few days I have learnt that India needs more people like you. There are no hopes from any political party as everybody is greedy, busy canvassing for votes. Their tears are also crocodile tears. It's We common Indian who have to save our lives. I have a son of two years old. I was thinking that I will not send my child to any army forces. But now I have changed. If we all think like this then who will protect the Nation. I thank you and many other brave soldiers for that. Now if my son wants to join the Military I will proudly say YES to him. Jai Hind, Vande Matram.

Operation Black Tornado
On the night of 26 Nov 2008, several iconic buildings in South Mumbai were attacked by terrorists. One of the buildings where the terrorists held people hostage was the 100 year old Taj Mahal Palace Hotel. Major Unnikrishnan was the commander of 51 SAG deployed in the operation at the Taj Mahal Hotel. He led his team from the front and engaged the terrorists in a fierce gunfight. When one of the NSG commandos was injured in the exchange of fire, he arranged for his evacuation and regardless of personal safety chased the terrorists who, meanwhile, escaped to another floor of the hotel, and while doing so Major Sandeep continuously engaged them. In the encounter that followed, he was shot from the back, seriously injured and succumbed to injuries.
